Happy Birthday Rhonda!!!

I remember the first time meeting my sister in law Rhonda (aka my sis). I went with Rick to his Grandma's house. They were having a family gathering. I was so nervous. Meeting your boyfriends family can be very nerve racking. You don't want them to think your a dork or something worse!! I also thought to myself I hope Rick doesn't just take just anyone to meet his family? Because then they would be like " OH! here's another one of Rick's girl!!" lol. To many things go through girl's heads! Rick introduced me to everyone there. I'm quite shy at first when meeting people you never met before. I just remember sitting in the living room listening to everyone talking. When Rhonda, Rita, and Amy was looking at a new Martha Stewart magazine. I was like "Martha who?" I never had heard of her. This family seemed so in style and elegant. I was thinking to myself how beautiful this family was laughing, loving, and enjoying one an other company. When I met Rhonda she was so sweet, kind, and just this gorgeous blond haired, blue eyed lady. She is still to this day breathe taking. I felt a connection with Rhonda she made me feel welcome. First impressions are important and Rhonda won my heart. I am honored to be her sister in law and apart of her family. Happy Birthday Rhonda you will always in my heart; I love you!!
I found this poem I would like to share,
Sisters
For happy time shared through the years,
for the loyalty, love, the laughter, and tears.
For the special things only you can do,
for all these things, I thank you!
Time and space my separate us,
but heartstrings know no end,
I'm proud to call you my sister,
happier still to call you my friend.
Love Ya!!

You have all those beautiful traits and more. A perfect fit for the entire family. My Mom liked you instantly and would tell everyone that Rick had a great girl friend. Doesn't sound like much but we had only met one other, EVER. She wasn't for us or Rick either.
You light up my life. Soft hands!!!! I knew them in ICU. No hands like yours.
